Happy 1st birthday to the Christmas Litter!!
I've been reflecting back on how intentionally raising and empowering puppies can change everything!
They were so many challenges that came with the first BAB litter - getting used to the curriculum, holding my ground on what family's adopt them, learning how to work at home full time, and what to do better with the next litter!
I learned a lot from mistakes I had made, but I am so grateful because the mistakes make it a quick and unforgettable lesson.
I never would have dreamed I would have coast-to-coast puppies! My eyes were opened to Flight Nanny's in the Christmas Litter. One pup went to California, and one to New York.
What a crazy year it's been! I am so grateful to be living and working my dream 💕
Panther and Figgy's temperaments just melt my heart 🥰
Watch till the end to see Huckleberry 😍
Proud of these pups! They did incredible with coming into the big house for the first time.
While they have listened to plenty of soundtracks on what a busy house sounds like, it's not quite the same as the real thing.
They're certainly getting exposed to it, with my brother playing a loud video game and someone cooking in the next room.
They absolutely loved this!! Happy 3 weeks old to these sweet Aussies 🥰
I'm so excited to start the exposure curriculum!
Pups had a BUSY Monday!!
Potty training, puppy mush, eyes opened, and they're starting to walk 😅 they're keeping me busy!
Pups first feeding of Puppy Mush... I think they like it 🤔
I'll be honest, my motivation was sourced strictly from the fact I could see a time-lapse of it afterwards.
Enjoying the fact that the room only needs to be cleaned once a day at the moment... I know it'll change in a couple weeks to 3-4 times with spot cleaning all day 😅
Look at who gets to stay with us for a little bit... Evie!! She is such a sweetheart, her previous name was Holly and she has been with her new family since February.
I'm so happy we get to spend some time with her 🥰
My heart 😍 I'm ready for puppies again!
This is what Psykhe has wanted the past few days - just some extra cuddles and love 🥰 we're already halfway through the second trimester!!
Obstacle courses are probably my favorite thing to do with the pups. I get to see how my encouragement affects each puppy and how they brave and enjoy the challenge.
Empowering puppies 4 paws at a time!
All 4 of my dogs are starting their "boot camp" sessions. What does this mean?
They will be on a leash, long lead, or in their crate for the next couple of months.
We are kicking bad habits in the butt, teaching a calm state-of-mind, and ending it with being more at peace with life and living with each other.
I am already gaining a better understanding of each of my dogs - and they are already starting to understand so much more of what I am asking of them.
It is more difficult for me to train my older dogs versus a puppy - but it is certainly possible with a lot of work and time. I am so excited to see more results from this new training program, which I can pass on to my puppy clients!
This is what gives me an abundance of gratitude to have a little 2 month break from litters.
For the next 2 months I'll be plenty busy with training, planning for a wedding, and getting the renovations done with the min barn.
And then it will be back to raising some badass puppies!
